ENDORSEMENTS'The Picking Hand Grimoirium is a very thorough & comprehensive catalog of exercises that should be highly beneficial for anyone looking for a great picking/plucking workout. Any fans of Michael Manring's exercises involving permutations will dig it - hugely!' Norm StocktonOrange County, CA

Additional notes from the author:By using this method, it insures complete picking hand development before adding the fretting hand. Since the exercises are �micro� picking hand movements only, detailed attention can be placed ontechnique, tempo, rhythm, dynamics and consistent string attack for optimum picking hand development. The exercises can and should be applied to ALL picking techniques that the musician chooses in their form of expression such as free strokes, rest strokes, alternate picking, economy picking, hybrid picking, finger picking, tremolos, slapping, double thumping, plucking, etc. As themusician progresses through the various exercises, new picking patterns will be encountered that could aid the musician in composing new and unique ideas. The permutations in the Picking Hand Grimoirium were created by computer program developed by the author. This insures that ALL permutations of strings and notes-per-strings are included.The Grimoirium also includes a chart of rhythms and MIDI files of the rhythms that can be applied to the exercises. The rhythms are grouped into three and four divisions of a beat or triplets and sixteenth notes. And to track your progress, a copy of The Picking Hand Grimoirium Log Chart is also included.I would like to note that the Picking Hand Grimoirium concentrates on one specific aspect ofmusicianship, the picking hand and it�s development. To become a well rounded musician with theability to express oneself completely, all aspects of musicianship is required in ones development andshould not be neglected. Also, the exercises in the Grimoirium can be considered non-musical. Wemust look past the exercises, since they are non-musical, to see the rewards that we may reap after the picking hand is developed and that is, no physical limitations for ones expression.Byron Santo

Excerpt from Mark's bookMy vision for this instructional book is to simply shed light and share my knowledge regarding plucking-hand technique, which is sometimes an afterthought to many players. I find many players focus so much on what the left hand is doing as it determines the musical qualities of your playing, but many forget about the hand that produces the sound. Without proper sound, your music simply cannot be heard! Many players are content with learning to produce a sound with the plucking hand, and will then stop there and look no further. This usually results in negligence over time to the proper development of the plucking hand, and can become an obstacle in your playing many years later.

This 5 1/2 by 8" QWIKGUIDE was created for the bassist who has mastered the basics of slap bass and wants to expand his or her skills. Many of this book's examples were written to fine tune individual string control -- the ability to thumb or pop on any string at any time. Individual string control is one of the most common weaknesses with slap bass students. Some of this book's examples are common fingerstyle workouts that are arranged for slapping.
